Did the belief in a powerless water baptism really mess today's Christians up in that it didn't Quicken them back to life (Eph 2:1) ?
FROM THEIR "DEAD SPIRITS" (RM 5:12-14) AND THEY WERE NEVER "BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT" (JOHN 3:5-7) WHO DIDN'T "JOIN TO HIS SPIRIT" (I COR 6:17)?
BEING STILL "DEAD SPIRITS," IS THAT WHY THERE ARE OVER 39.5K+ DIFFERENT SO CALLED "CHRISTAIN DENOMINATIONS" WITH ALL THE "DEAD SPIRITS" MAKING THEIR OWN "PRIVATE INTERPRETATIONS" NOT BEING "MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST" (II PETER 1:20-21)?
DON'T THEY KNOW THAT HIS "POWER THAT COMES UPON US" (ACTS 1:8) WITH HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISM (ACTS 1:5) "QUICKENS US BACK TO LIFE" (EPHESIANS 2:1) AS WE ARE "BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT" (JN 3:5-7)?

Theological talking point, and an exercise in futility.
The word "baptism" comes from the Greek "baptismo" which literally means "plunge." As in to water.
You read FAR to much into the words - trying to interpret what isn't there. ALL baptisms involved water, AND the Holy Spirit. It's been like that for almost 2000 years.
